hey buddy, 2 guys i work with have had the same problem, and the same operation within the past year. both were back at work fully recovered within a few days. it supposedly is far more painful and therefore scarier than what you would assume.

you might have to spend a little less time on your knees begging for my recipes for a while, though.

hope you get back on your feet asap.

Thanks everyone for the support and prognosis of a speedy recovery time from your own experience or observations. And Bucky, about that begging for recipes thing, you forget that I injured my knee in the first place by carrying you in the kitchen!!!
